2 Bedroom Apartment in Alvor
Casa da Maria is a traditional fisherman’s house, lovingly restored in 2018, located right by the Alvor Estuary.
It accommodates up to four guests in two bedrooms – one with a double bed and the other with bunk beds – and includes a bathroom with a shower.
The house is fully equipped for a comfortable stay, featuring Wi-Fi, air conditioning in the living room, and satellite TV.
From the spacious terrace, enjoy stunning views over the unique Alvor Estuary.
We want you to have a memorable experience in Alvor, so we start communicating with you before your arrival to ensure everything is well prepared.
On the day of check-in, we will be waiting for you at the house to hand over the keys, show you around, and answer any questions you may have.
Alvor is a charming coastal village in the Algarve that still preserves much of its traditional fishing heritage – visible in its whitewashed houses, cobbled streets, and the colourful boats that gather at the old fish market after a day at sea.
Wandering through the narrow streets of the old town, where the Moorish influence is still present in the architecture and small domed chapels (morabitos), offers stunning views over the rooftops and the breathtaking scenery of the Alvor Estuary.
The peaceful mornings and the magical colours of the sunset mirrored in the calm waters of the estuary are moments you’ll never forget.
This tranquil natural setting is home to dozens of migratory bird species, thriving wetlands, and traditional fishing practices that still survive today. The wooden boardwalks, stretching over 6 km, are perfect for long walks and offer several birdwatching spots.
Being so close to the sea, Alvor’s gastronomy is rich and varied. Along the waterfront and throughout the village, you'll find local restaurants (and more), as well as cafés and bars where you can unwind in the late afternoon or enjoy the lively evening atmosphere.
Alvor strikes a rare balance between the vibrancy of a beachside tourist village and the authenticity of its people, traditions, and cultural heritage.
Guests have exclusive access to the entire house.
